The Shabby Tea Room, and a Few Challenges!

 Hi all, I'm here today with a card made inspired by the Shabby tea Room pastelly sweet colours. I saw the graphic, and just had to play along, I just hope my card is 'Shabby' enough!

Here are the super sweet colours to use:



And here's my take:


 I have stamped a lattice background using my new stamps from Uniko Studios, Background Builders - Lattice. Oh they are a dream to stamp with, and I couldn't resist using three of the pattern strips to create my background!

I have used a selection of chalk inks in Versamagic Thatched Straw, Pink Petunia, Pixie Dust and Versacolor Celadon.

I left enough room at the bottom of the card to stamp the wonderful sentiment from Papertrey Inks Harvest Berries set.


I die cut and stamped in Celadon ink the medium leaves from Harvest Berries, and created a little spray with an oversized paper rose and some pale green satin ribbon.



Finally I added some pale green pearls to the bottom of the punched edge card, which is from Craftwork Cards Petalpoint edge range.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

The Shabby Tea Room

Crafty Catz - Pastels

Paperplay Challenge - Use a Die

Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

Love how you have used the sweet pastel colours, Pauline, and I adore the little sentiment stamp at the bottom.....lovely card!

Thanks for dropping by my blog today to read the post about blogger usage and how to prevent having to pay for your blog. Interesting that Picasa says you have used 0% of your storage. When you are viewing the Home tab in Picasa, does it have any albums showing under 'My Recent Albums'? If it doesn't, you must be logged into a different Picasa account. If it does have your blog albums showing, I can only think that you have uploaded images of 800x800 pixels or less. Wish mine said I had so much space left, lol. CoB
